Children are most certainly welcome in our venue, however we do note that the floor space is tight and may not always accommodate prams. We can provide a high chair at your table however due to the configuration of the restaurant we ask that you reach out to us and advise us of your requirements so we can accommodate your party as comfortably as possible at least 24 hours ahead of your booking.

Due to the nature of the venue and ease of accessibility to open flames both in the kitchen and fireplace located in the courtyard, we request the strict supervision of all children and ask that they are not left unattended at any time. Please also keep in mind that we do not offer a children’s menu and food that has not been prepared on site is not permitted in the venue, they are welcome to order off of the a la carte menu.

By law, guests under the age of 18 are required to have a parent or guardian accommodate them within the venue.
